How to build Android SDK tools such as chimpchat or ddmlib?

[Hamilton Turner]

I'm trying to compile some of the Jars from <SDKROOT>/tools/lib myself. All the resources I can find reference using a gradle wrapper, but it appears the source code compilation method has changed -- I'm only finding build.gradle files, most of which have dependencies that are not found. Can anyone advice on what I'm doing wrong? 

$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-5.1.0_r1 -g all,-notdefault,tools
$ repo sync
$ cd tools/swt/chimpchat
$ gradle tasks
...
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'chimpchat'.
> No such property: archivesBaseName for class: org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject_Decorated
$ cd ..
$ gradle tasks
...
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'swt'.
> Plugin with id 'sdk-files' not found.
$ cd ../base/ddmlib
$ gradle tasks

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'ddmlib'.

> Plugin with id 'sdk-java-lib' not found.

There is a <AOSP_ROOT>/tools/base folder that does succeed with gradle tasks, but it appears to have no subprojects or compilation-specific tasks defined.

Thanks,

Hamilton

I just met exactly the same problem when trying platform/tools/base! Oops!
